What are the precautions for using insecticides during the melon seedling stage?
Melon seedlings are sensitive to many insecticides and are highly prone to pesticide damage, so insecticides must be used with extra care. For pests such as ground beetles, a moat method can be used: dig a small ditch around the seedbed, line it with waterproof plastic sheeting, then fill it with water and add Shennongbao or Amaier to form a barrier, which is very...
Melon seedlings are sensitive to many insecticides and are highly prone to pesticide damage, so insecticides must be used with extra care. For pests such as ground beetles, a moat method can be used: dig a small ditch around the seedbed, line it with waterproof plastic sheeting, then fill it with water and add Shennongbao or Amaier to form a barrier, which gives very good results (this method comes from farmers); another method is to broadcast some Shennongbao or Amaier poisonous soil around the seedbed, which also works well. If leafminers appear, Qiangbang or Miesha can be sprayed, or alternatively 1.8% abamectin can be sprayed. If aphids appear during the seedling stage, add one bag of the stress-resistance and yield-increasing agent Shunshengnong to either of the above two pesticides, and then both leafminers and aphids will be fully controlled.
